How bath repair works in HP2
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and rusty patches near the plughole.
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

What affects the price in HP2
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to HP2. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How the damage happens
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
Repairing versus replacing
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
Common questions in HP2
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
